Summary of ADP Workforce Now Reviews
| ADP Workforce Now Pros | ADP Workforce Now Cons |
|---|---|
| Reporting Very easy to use with nicely formatted Excel output. (Note: This is the predominant, but not unanimous view). |
Time and attendance Time and attendance is difficult to set up correctly. Some users report bugs. |
| Self-service portal Very easy for employees to change W-4's etc. Time-off requests also well handled. |
Browser support Some issues with support for new browser versions, particularly IE. |
| Customer Service High quality customer service with knowledgeable teams, although little cross-function knowledge. |
HR/Payroll separation These two sides of the product are very independent with their own reports and support teams. It would be beneficial if they were more integrated. |

Talent Management Talent management capabilities are generally immature. |
